What is PCN?

The Poison Centre Notification (PCN) is a legal requirement under the EU's CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008), aimed at ensuring poison centres in the EEA have detailed, up-to-date information on hazardous chemical mixtures.

Importers and downstream users must submit this data through an ECHA-managed portal, including composition, hazards, uses, packaging and a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI). This standardized system supports faster, more effective emergency medical responses across EU member states.

Global PCCS partners with importers and downstream users to make UFI generation, dossier preparation and ECHA submission accurate and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Poison Centre Notification (PCN)?+

PCN is a legal requirement under the EU's CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008) that ensures poison centres in the EEA have detailed, up-to-date information on hazardous chemical mixtures, supporting faster emergency medical responses.

Who is required to submit a PCN?+

Importers and downstream users who place hazardous mixtures classified for health or physical hazards on the EU/EEA market must submit PCN data through the ECHA-managed portal.

What is a UFI code and why does it matter?+

A Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) is a 16-character alphanumeric code that links a specific mixture formulation to its PCN dossier, allowing poison centres to instantly retrieve the correct composition and hazard data in an emergency.

How are PCN dossiers submitted?+

Dossiers are submitted through the ECHA Submission Portal, using either the ECHA Cloud service or a System-to-System (S2S) interface, and must include composition, hazards, uses, packaging and the UFI.

What happens if my product formulation changes?+

A formulation, classification or other significant product change generally requires an updated PCN submission and, in most cases, a new UFI — we manage these modifications on your behalf.

Can Global PCCS review our UFI labeling?+

Yes — we review product labels to ensure they are correctly formatted and display the UFI code in accordance with PCN labeling rules.
